‘Violet’ Actor Joshua Henry On 2nd Tony Nomination: ‘It’s Surreal’

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Joshua Henry is up for a Tony Award for the same role he played as a college sophomore.

CBS 2’s Dana Tyler interviewed the Broadway star, who is nominated for best performance by an actor in a featured role in a musical. He plays the role of Flick in the revival of “Violet.”

Henry, 29, said he has a much different approach to playing the character now than he did in 2003.

“It being my first college production, it’s all about just getting the notes right and just hitting my marks,” he said. “But over a decade later now, I’ve got just a little more life experience, and it’s about the depth of who Flick is.”
